Chapter 70: Parting

Lao Zhao has already put all the things I need on the carriage, Qinghe has loaded a lot of clothes for me, there are cotton clothes and thin shirts, I know that those are all made by herself, but after getting along for a month, she is so attentive to me.

Aoki didn't ask for my one hundred taels, saying that he had earned enough principal during this time, and said that when I came back next time, he would definitely be one of the best businessmen in Qingzhou. I never doubted Aoki's cleverness, a few days ago he was no longer satisfied with selling flower dew in Gyokurofang, but begged me to accompany him to see the shop, choose the location, find someone to decorate, the name of the store is still I gave him, "Qingfang".

Mo Xi stood in front of the flower stand in the front yard with her baggage, those jasmines had already given birth to buds, and in a few days, they would bloom one after another, but unfortunately, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to see those grand scenes, she rubbed her eyes, reluctantly, and Qinghe accompanied her to stand.

I had given the deed to Qinghe a few days ago for safekeeping, and she no longer insisted that she had to go with me, but just told me firmly that she would help me guard this place and wait for me to come back.

I knew what she meant, and she waited for me.

What's the trouble, if I refuse, I can't bear to say it when I see her red eyes, in fact, who knows if I come back or not, I'm afraid it's the same as before, a farewell is forever, and when she reaches the age of marriage, Aoki must be doing a booming business, and when the time comes, the person who asks for marriage will definitely break through the threshold, and I just hope that she can meet her destined lover.

I walked to the front door, Aoki was still talking with Lao Zhao Pan, two people saw me coming, immediately closed their mouths, stood and waited for me, I walked to the carriage in a few steps, jumped up, and didn't say a word.

"Childe, where are you going?" Aoki's voice rang behind his ears.

I turned my head to look at him and smiled wryly, "Jin Guo."

This is really my last choice, if the Jin Kingdom can't tolerate me, then at that time, I will either be arrested or die.

Qingzhou is such a remote place, you can search it, if you don't leave the southern country, I'm afraid that sooner or later you will be caught back, then everything becomes meaningless.

He nodded, and did not speak again, but looked at me with teary eyes, but the warmth refused to fall, and I knew his stubbornness and strength, and smiled at him, and got into the carriage, and looked out no more.

I heard Mo Xi whispering outside the carriage, telling them to take care of themselves, and asking them to take care of this house for me.

Sending you a thousand miles to say goodbye, even if everyone was reluctant to leave, Mo Xi still reluctantly got into the carriage, opened the curtains and looked outside, Qinghe's hand reached in through the window, dragging a navy blue purse, and said outside, "Childe, I'll wait for you." ”

Mo Xi took the purse and handed it to me, I didn't answer, I didn't reach out to take it, she stuffed it into my hand fiercely, and said out the window, "Sister Qinghe, your son knows it, it's just that I hope you can meet your lover early." ”

As soon as Mo Xi finished speaking, Lao Zhao shouted to open the road, and he could feel the horse's hooves gradually moving and the carriage had already moved.

I didn't have the courage to open the curtain to say goodbye to them, but Mo Xi kept waving his hand, kept saying goodbye, and persuaded them, go back quickly, don't follow.

I nestled alone in the corner of the carriage, my nose was sore, tears were rolling in my eyes, holding the purse that Mo Xi stuffed to me, my heart was sour, the first time, such a face-to-face goodbye, I knew how uncomfortable it was, I wanted to cry but didn't dare, I felt guilty, and I was reluctant.

Seeing me like this, Mo Xi complained lightly, "Obviously reluctant, but he was stingy even saying goodbye." ”

If I don't say parting, I won't feel parting, I can still say to myself, it's only short-lived, I'll come back sooner or later, if I really say it, it's a settled fact, and I don't even have a reason to deceive myself.

I smiled at her, closed my eyes and pretended to sleep, I was just afraid, I couldn't help it, and I really cried.

I remember the first time I saw the Qinghe sisters and brothers, I still scoffed, saying that they were liars, just cheating money, but in just one month, they were already regarded as family members, and they couldn't do without.

I still remember that Aoki's kid often joked about me no matter how big or small, and when he saw Moxi, he was as well-behaved as a cat; I still remember that Qinghe always looked at me tenderly, taking care of the details of my life intimately, her humility, her gentleness, and her knowledge, which occasionally reminded me of my mother, that woman, when she was young, should be like Qinghe.

It's just that I, after all, have failed a heart.

When I arrived at the city gate of Qingzhou, the investigation was very loose, and to my surprise, Lao Zhao just dealt with it a little and went out of the city gate.

I heard Lao Zhao say that it will take six days to get to the border between Nanguo and Jinguo, just beckoning him to hurry, I don't plan to stop anymore, I just want to leave here quickly, leave this place that makes me tremble.

The carriage galloped on the official road, Mo Xi was drowsy in the car, but I was very energetic, looking at the clothes in the baggage, they were all crescent white cloud satin, presumably they were all materials bought with my salary for her, the stitches were dense and neat, and the style was also changed according to my body shape.

The navy blue mandarin duck purse, I have already put it together with the purse that Ziqing gave me.

Mo Xi hugged the women's clothes I wore on the day I left in her arms, and she always took that set of clothes with her, she said that I can't always pretend to be a man, it's too hard, as long as I get to Jinguo, let me restore my daughter's clothes.

In fact, in this more than a month, I have learned how hard it is to be a man, not only need to take responsibility, but also need responsibility, need wisdom, need to take care of the overall situation, need to look ahead, when you become a person's dependence, then you must ensure her safety.

At this moment, I realized how hard Ziqing was, to deal with his father, to deal with his royal brother, to deal with his so-called unmarried lady, and to take into account my feelings.

I still don't know when I relied on him, when I liked him, after all, I'm in my twenties, isn't it, why would I like a teenager, but now I just know that I miss him.

Suddenly I regretted a little, am I too selfish to leave like this, time is a good medicine to heal the wound, and it also allows you to see your heart clearly, I have been hesitating, telling myself that I just cherish and rely on Ziqing, but I am getting farther and farther away from him, the longing is getting stronger and stronger, and the heartbeat feeling that I haven't had for a long time is back.

In the past two days, my mind is full of him, Aoki used to be by his side, I always regarded him as a shadow, and I didn't feel so uncomfortable, now, there is no Aoki, only the purse he gave me, and those vows, echoing in my mind over and over again.

Getting closer and closer to Jinguo, my regret became heavier and heavier, and I almost blurted out several times to let Lao Zhao turn the head of the car, but the thing is, I stared blankly at the scenery outside the car flashing in front of me, my heart ached like a knife, I couldn't stop the pace, I could only walk forward, I didn't dare to turn back.

Mo Xi naturally didn't understand my careful thoughts, or still embroidered flowers, did she take out the purse that Qinghe gave me, study the stitching, you can see that it is a day, she embroidered one after another mandarin duck purse, men's robe, sweat towel, but she threw it away after embroidery, I know that she embroidered it for Qi Hao.

If I hadn't been the matchmaker who made the decision that day, she opened her mouth by herself, maybe Qi Hao would have agreed to marry her, but now, I have made it self-defeating, and she is getting farther and farther away from that person.

For the sake of freedom, I abandoned the person in my heart, and I also caught up with such a good girl as Mo Xi, and I had time to calm down, and I asked myself more than once and again, whether it was worth it.

I accidentally rummaged through the baggage, and dropped an object from it, and when I picked it up, it was my bone fan.

I remember that I gave it to Aoki the night before I left, and it was in his baggage, so he must have secretly stuffed it back to me.

Aoki, the child who is particularly like Ziqing, looks like him in every move. But it's not like that.

This is the fifth day of leaving, and I have been wandering all the way, because I told Lao Zhao to speed up, it was to make me sick and vomit in the dark, and I finally found an inn to settle down, I was already weak and paralyzed.

Lao Zhao took advantage of the meal to tell me that he had arrived in the border city, and that I could leave the country with Moxi tomorrow, let me settle a salary for him, give him the silver, and return to the room to quickly open the Jinpa embroidered with a map.

At a glance, I saw the Gele Mountains, looked familiar, always felt that I had seen these two words where, but I couldn't remember, poured out all the objects in the personal baggage, and prepared to study one by one, just the fish pattern silver bracelet was closest to my hand, pick it up and take a look, it was engraved with Mujia Village, Gele Mountain.

Mount Gele should be in the Gel Mountains, but I don't know where it is, and this Mujia Village must be even more difficult to find. Since Chu Mo gave me this address, it means that it is hidden enough that the search range of officers and soldiers will not be everywhere, but where is this exactly?

Whether I go directly to the country of Jin or go to this Grad Mountain, it's really a question.

Looking at the map embroidered with gold thread on Jinpa, Lao Zhao said that this is a border city, so that is to say, this Gele Mountain must be near this, and I don't know how long it will take to get to Jinguo, I used to go back to Liangzhou to be escorted, but now I am alone, and I am really a little overwhelmed.

It just so happened that Mo Xi pushed the door in and brought me tea, and I waved her over, after all, this kind of thing needs to be discussed with her, and escaping is not my business alone, and her thoughts should be taken into account.

Mo Xi put down the teapot and sat down next to me, looking puzzled.

After hearing me say those questions, she told me categorically that I should go to Jinguo.

I asked her why, and she said that no matter what, the Gel Mountains belong to the southern and modern countries, and if the Mujia village is in the Jin country, it will be fine, and if it is in the south country, the consequences will be unimaginable.

When she said this, it reminded me that the map clearly depicted the Grad Mountains between the two countries, half of each country, and if the Mujia village was really in the south, the risk was really too great.
